That changes things then, I should’ve read the entire article.

> dude went through a red light, Dude blew through a flashing stop sign at the intersection of Saskatchewan Highways 35 and 335 while driving at a speed of approximately 100 km/h (60 mph). [This is the intersection](https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1037221,-104.0255998,3a,75y,280.92h,89.2t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1suexWmviJAUjEa8fc5mkIIw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0.7984479526537172%26panoid%3DuexWmviJAUjEa8fc5mkIIw%26yaw%3D280.920307142301!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQyOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (You can see all the memorial markers of the people he killed off the the right)

All of the flak is the company sending him out without proper training. The company got away pretty much free.

When conservatives attack anything there are always a group of liberals that rush to defend whatever they are attacking. Doesn’t matter what it is, there will always be some whataboutism or gaslighting or flat out ignorance used to ignore or forgive anything negative about whatever conservatives are attacking. We used to be able to agree that some things are bad, no matter which side pointed it out. Now we determine if something is bad solely based on the side pointing it out.

> This accident could have been prevented by having a 4 way stop sign intersection. He blew through the stop sign. What makes you think he wouldn't have blown through it if it was a 4 way stop?

He murdered 16 people. 8 years is basically a slap on the wrist.

If he was white you wouldn't say this.

At the end of the day this was an accident. Comparing a murderer to this guy is dumb. Not to mention the reason for pleading guilty is also completely different.

Hmm Muzzo a rich drunk driver who never repented or even tried to look remorseful in the public (I’m from Kleinburg doxx me all you want). Or an overworked guy who immediately accepted all fault and blame. Somehow I think the 2 situations are pretty different. But after they both did their time, wishing cruelty on either of them is not going to do anything to bring back the dead.

Would that make you feel better? Is that a proper penance for this crime, something that’ll fix the parents that lost children?

But he did accept his punishment. He pled guilty to all charges (instead of asking for a plea deal), apologized to the victims, and spent three years in prison, before applying for parole as is his legal right. As for the matter of his deportation, he wants to stay with his wife and two children, one of whom has a rare lung disorder and whose health could be endangered by the poor air quality in India. I think that’s understandable. Or do you think he should abandon his wife and kids without even trying to stay? Also — applying for deferral is a legal right. I don’t think it’s any different from exercising your right to a public defender or your right not to self-incriminate. I believe all people should have access to their legal rights regardless of the crime. If you have a problem with the court granting the deferral, that seems like an issue to take up with the court. Edit: I also want to add that this was a mistake. He was not under the influence or on his cell phone; he was briefly distracted by a tarp coming loose. It could happen to anyone; I definitely see far more reckless drivers on the road every day. I’m not saying that he should not face any consequences. But I am saying that it was a mistake, and if you would made this mistake, wouldn’t you experience depression and mental health issues? (I’m assuming that’s what you mean by “trying to cast himself as some sort of victim”) I thought that this statement by one of the victims’ family members was really thoughtful: Haugan doesn't think Sidhu should be deported, either, because it won't bring her husband or the other victims back and will only hurt Sidhu's family. "I forgive him," she said. "When he closes his eyes, I'm sure he sees horrific things and I just would hope that there's some way that he can forgive himself and know that he's allowed to be happy, too."

When did they claim that therapy doesn’t exist in India? They said there’s a giant stigmatism against therapy in India, which is true in a lot of parts of the world, just especially in India. But just because they have therapists in India doesn’t mean it’s accessible to those with no income or a means to support themselves, like the conditions one would find themselves after being deported. It’s expensive because it’s a specialized service that not many ppl in India use. Also, the society looks down on people who go to therapy, so he’d be shunned by more people in his community putting him in a worse place with zero support. To give an example of the stigmatism, it ranges from being shunned to being kicked out of your parent’s house because you want to go to therapy for depression. Not saying he doesn’t deserve to be shamed for his stupidity that killed 16 people. But he needs to learn how to live with it and make amends so it never happens again. I’d like to believe some people can be saved and shown their errors (obviously there are ppl who cannot, but those ppl are usually sociopaths/psychopaths/sycophants)

Incorrect. He was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. Murder is defined as intentional killing with malice aforethought. IE man was dumb and stupid, thinking he could make a maneuver with enough time, not realizing he did not have the time, space, or legal right to make that turn. He didn’t say “f*** that bus load of athletes, I like their competitors more, so I’m going to kill them”. If NA deported every person who made stupid decisions that directly ended up directly costing people their lives, our jails would be empty and we’d have no politicians left (/s)

2 weeks?! That definitely isn't enough.

That’s insane.  In the U.S. I went to a cdl school for about 3 weeks to get my cdl, but then when I got hired by my first company I had to drive with a trainer for like 2 months before I was solo. There are so many different scenarios, and situations you run into while truck driving that would have absolutely no chance of covering in only 2 weeks.

You need training to know not to ignore a stop sign?

Kill =/ murder

Nothing you said changes the fact that getting in a car accident does not make it murder. He’s a killer, he’s a criminal, he should be deported, but he does not meet the legal bar to be a murderer. Words have meaning for a reason.
